Trouble follows Marbury everywhere he goes, even when he’s banished from the Knicks bench. This latest bit about fake Swiss bankers trying to broker a deal to sign him with Real Mardid, is something out of a Sascha Baron Cohen movie. Is Niiiice!
“While banished from the Knicks, Stephon Marbury was pursued relentlessly by a pair of alleged Swiss bankers claiming to have connections to Real Madrid. Marbury, after discovering their intricate plot was a hoax, was considering turning over information to law-enforcement officials about the contact. The alleged investors, who identified themselves to The Post through phone calls and e-mails as working for Union Bank Suisse, gave their names and claimed they were trying to sign him to a multi-million dollar sponsorship contract that can be parlayed into a deal with the Real Madrid basketball club.”
